At an Army post known for its red-capped paratroopers and green beret Special Forces, Maj. Kamal Kalsi dons a camouflage turban.
And unlike most Fort Bragg soldiers, who visit a barber weekly, Kalsi has never shaved or had a haircut. He is one of three Sikh soldiers serving in the U.S. Army, and the only one at Fort Bragg.
Kalsi, 35, is an emergency room doctor at Womack Army Medical Center, where he says his similarities with soldiers have outweighed his differences.
